Sofiane Addou first French woman in spacewalk
French astronaut Sophie Adnou made history as the first French woman to exit the International Space Station to perform a spacewalk, which lasted about six and a half hours alongside American astronaut Anil Mignon. During the mission, they successfully removed a faulty antenna that supported the station's communication with the Houston control center, but they were unable to replace it with new equipment due to time constraints. Adnou expressed feeling good during the operation and received praise and appreciation from French President Emmanuel Macron. She was also the second European woman to carry out a spacewalk after Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. This mission is considered a significant achievement, reflecting meticulous preparations and collective efforts to support space exploration operations.
